Compact Vitis AI
This course presents the Vitis™ AI development toolkit for AI inference on AMD hardware platforms in conjunction with DNN algorithms, the trained model from associated frameworks. The target deployment focuses on Alveo™ Cards, Zynq™ SoCs, Zynq™ UltraScale+™ MPSoCs and Versal™ adaptive SoCs. The target designs need to incorporate a Deep Learning Processor Unit (DPU) IP as presented in the course to support the Vitis™ AI tools.
The basics of Machine Learning (ML) and challenges in neural network training are revisited to relate to the concepts and scope of Vitis™ AI. As it supports mainstream frameworks like TensorFlow and PyTorch, a wide variety of models for diverse machine learning tasks are available and a comprehensive pre optimized model library is at hand offering models that can readily be deployed on AMD devices.
The concepts of the Vitis™ AI development kit are shown with the framework-specific tools to prune and optimize the trained models, to reduce the computation load, and then quantize the model according to the target DPU spec for efficient mapping. The AI compiler generates deployable code for the microarchitecture of the DPU.
It will be demonstrated how the Vitis™ AI tools can be used to analyze the model performance and debugging. To complete the full deployment, the final chapters present Vitis™ AI libraries and APIs and show how to integrate the pre- and postprocessing with DPU for optimized inference.
Due to accompanying exercises, the course offers in-depth and practice-oriented training.

FAQ
01. In which countries is PLC2 an Authorized Training Provider (ATP) of AMD?
PLC2 is an ATP in Cyprus, Czech Republic, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Switzerland, and Turkey.
02. What does AMD ATP stand for?
AMD Authorized Training Providers (ATPs) are expert instructors specializing in all aspects of FPGA and embedded design from software to systems and beyond. Courses offered leverage training materials specifically developed by AMD engineers and enhanced further via the specialized knowledge and expertise of AMD ATP instructors.
03. Can the training content be customized to specific FPGA and embedded design project requirements?
Yes. On request, we create customized training courses that are precisely tailored to your company’s tools, processes, and methods. See also our In-House training format.
04. Are there hands-on exercises in PLC2 training courses?
Depending on the course format, hands-on exercises are included in most of the training sessions, especially in workshops, power workshops, and online live courses.
05. How can I register for a PLC2 training course?
